ATASCADERO & TEMPLETON
ATASCADERO
Atascadero is located in the heart of the Central Coast, offering a blend of natural beauty and rural lifestyle. Its comfortable climate and atmosphere are influenced by the beautiful Pacific Ocean on the West, and also by the Salinas River and open countryside to the East. Local scenery includes oak-studded hills, creeks, and scenic vistas of the Santa Lucia Mountains. Our family orientated, mid-size community has a small-town feel yet is buzzing with new business and a resurging downtown and economy. The Charles Paddock Zoo, Atascadero Lake and Lake Park, Chalk Mountain Golf Course, and other parks and shopping centers are great places to visit. It is an amalgamation of rolling hills studded with majestic oaks and other mesmerizing flora; historic buildings; homes and ranches, all surrounded by the most colorful visitor vistas and finest wineries in the state. Atascadero offers a variety of local and regional festivals and events, glorious country roads for biking, hiking and horseback riding. In the historic downtown Colony District friendly merchants and tucked-away little cafes provide a unique experience for an afternoon or a weekend. With many housing options and services provided by an incorporated city, Atascadero provides the small town living experience so sought after on the Central Coast.
